Chris Farley was one funny SOB, I love Tommy Boy!
Ren and Stempy
South Park ranks up towards the top of my list
Old Eddie Murphy stand up
Richard Prior
Monte Python
XMC on Spike Channel
Animal House
Dumb and Dumber
What I have to explain is this:I am the GM of a Harley dealership.I require my employees to have a sense of humor and ask them about it in the interview process.If they lie and actually don't have one, they usually aren't around for long! My style? Dry,quick witted,smart@ss that loves to make people laugh! Oh, almost forgot In Living Color! Very funny for it's day!

I find humor in just about everyting and consider nothing of limits. That doesn't mean I purposefully go out of my way to ridicule someone, but I appreciate anyone who will do anything for a laugh. Some people will always laugh adn some will get pissed off.


Having said all that, my range goes from clean cut, like Abbot and Costello and bugs bunny to raunchy like Richard Pryor and Andrew Dice Clay.

Robin Williams and Dennis Miller, the list goes on and on.

One dude that never got a laugh out of me was Gallagher. Noting amusing about smashing watermelons to me.

Risie O'Donnell never did much for me either.

Bye!

Enough about me, how are you doing?

when i was in the para's i shot me own bollocks off for a larf..

but seriously, no, i mean in jest things that make me laugh -
real life slapstick, like someone slipping and falling (no im not a
heartless git, my first reaction would be to see they are not hurt),
then i would burst out laughing..
ball in groin, Homer was right..
in my more tender moments just watching animals do funny things,

in the realm of tv, i think british/irish humour can be very intelligent and
subtle, not to mention surreal - apart from Monty Python etc, have you
guys come across Father Ted or Blackadder or Yes,Minister,
Only Fools and Horses ? these are the kinda shows that you never tire
of wathcing over and over..

Movies- Blues Brothers, Dumb & Dumber, Young Frankenstein,
Dead men dont wear Plaid, theres a movie with Steve Martin and
Michael Caine as conmen, cant remeber the name, but funny..

Cheers, Tony

Tony, Black Adder and Fawlty Towers, ect... are very popular over here. I love Fawlty Towers.

If I had to pick one though, the Simpsons is hard to beat and rather intelligent

Laurel and Hardy- first.
There's not too much else that has me in tears laughing.

I recently transferred 10 hours of 'the boys' I recorded on VHS in 84' and 85' to DVD.
I'm very happy. They came out great. Those tapes were getting dicey.
I was also able to secure from those tapes, 3 different 'Crazy Eddie' commercials and 2 different Suzuki Samurai commercials, as if we'll ever see them again.

At the same time, for those of you who watch '24':
Possible Spoiler warning!!!

I laughed my butt off when Edgar looked into the sealed room.

End of spoiler.

Black Adder. Great stuff.

'House' is very funny at times.


I also find it funny when I think of commenting to a female co-worker who's been obviously dieting for an upcoming trade show ( no usual lunch, just carrot sticks etc.), "Are you gaining weight?"

Of course, I don't do it, but if I have to stifle a giggle here and there in the office, it's usually for something inappropriate I've thought of without anybody's help.


Lastly, a great under-rated movie called After-Hours, about a guy who just wants to get home. I watched the whole thing the first time, then 10 minutes after it ended I laughed for about 20 minutes straight and almost hurt myself.

I think you're right, Paul. I wouldn't have thought of that symmetry had you not mentioned it.

I laughed out loud when I read that Miss Deaf Texas got run over by a train. I know that's twisted but that's me.

And whoever posted the pics from Keeping Up Appearances, I really love that show.

This Monkey Means Love



Honey, honey. Happy Anniversary. I bought you the Sharper Image "Alive" Chimpanzee. I love you.

Wait, don't make a face like that. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "What will I do with an animatronic monkey?" "Why would you buy an animatronic monkey for my anniversary?" "What were you thinking when you purchased an animatronic monkey from the Sharper Image?"

Trust me, honey, there's a reason I bought the Sharper Image "Alive" Chimpanzee. And never forget that I love you.

Honey, first of all, this is a Sharper Image Worldwide Exclusive. You can't get it anywhere else. It's unique. Just like the ball that said "Fuhgeddaboudit" when squeezed. But this is no talking squeeze-ball. It's a life-like animated rubber bust of a chimpanzee that I suppose I'll put on the table over there.

Honey, I love you. The Sharper Image "Alive" Chimpanzee has four distinctive moods: "Curious", "Happy", "Fearful" and "Feisty" - so in many ways he's just like me. When I'm away you can look at the rubber monkey bust on the table - or maybe bookshelf - and think of your husband and our love.

And when I get home, I can trigger the monkey's moods with a remote control. It will be great, honey, because you can say something and I can tell you to look at the monkey to see how I feel about what you said. For example, when I come home with a $150 animatronic rubber monkey bust and place it on the table and you start cursing me, I can press the "Fearful" button. You will see the fear I feel, but you will see it expressed through the soulful eyes of a rubber chimp.

Honey, I don't want you to think this is another pointless toy built by baffled Asians and destined for the attic. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is not Robosapien or a Lightsaber. This is a monkey, and we came from monkeys. His appearance is remarkably lifelike! Even the catalog will tell you it was painstakingly crafted to exacting standards. Do you have any idea how exacting the standards are for a rubber monkey head? Very. I'm sure of it.

I love you, honey. I think the Sharper Image "Alive" Chimpanzee is the ultimate anniversary gift. We're going to learn together what it's like to be in the presence of a chimpanzee. And his soulful eyes track movement, so as we walk around the living room together it will be like someone else, a rubber monkey, is experiencing our lives with us.

Best of all, for $29.95 the three-year replacement guarantee insures that our robotic chimp will be with us for at least three years. Looking down at us from the bookshelf, or maybe the table. Maybe the counter by the phone. He'll be there, sensing our presence, twitching, reacting, surprising guests. It will be great, as long as we keep his batteries charged.

Happy anniversary, honey. I love you.

Look at the rubber monkey head. I'll press the button to show you how happy I am.
